[QUOTE="RoBo, post: 928400, member: 33633"] Ask your Doc about Seroquel. Its actually a Bi-polar med, but when used in much lower doses 12-50mg its the best sleep aid ever, and non addictive. Doctors prescribe it all the time even though "sleep aid" is not one of its published uses. Also, the dot physical place will have a prescription medication form that you should get before hand. It's for cases like this, and prescriptions like vicodin, klonopin etc. This form needs to be filled out by your prescribing doctor stating that you are only to take it(the drug in question) during non work hours, and that it will not affect your dot performance. My thinking is it is a kind of "release of liability" for the dot doc, since your own doc is the one providing you care with the knowledge you are a dot driver. [/QUOTE]
